Chertsey 1 Sandhurst Town FC 1

Sandhurst Rown FC extended their unbeaten run to eight games in the Combined Counties League and cup competitions.

This was a good result as Chertsey were title contenders until recently.

It was always going to be a difficult test against a physically strong and well-organised side.

The home side managed to exert early pressure for the first 20 minutes, severely testing the Fizzers defence and resolve.

They were rewarded on 19 minutes when striker John Pomroy broke through from midfield, outpacing the Fizzers defence to fire home.

The rest the first half was a more balanced affair with Sandhurst enjoying a number of chances, but not without a number of scares at the other end with Fizzers keeper Asen Agov producing an excellent save just before half-time.

Manager John Underwood shuffled the pack a little at half time which resulted in a much better half for the Fizzers .

They enjoyed good periods of possession and looked more capable of breaking through the home defence. They equalised in the 53rd minute when defender Matt Weston headed home from a corner.

Both sides had a number of opportunities to clinch victory, but were unable to convert with them.

Fizzers thoroughly deserved their point.

Underwood said: “We didn’t have a great first half, but the belief came back in the second half and we secured a valuable point.”
